Cat Mom and Dog Lover For Hire!

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Jenn. I am a pet loving homeowner of Chicago, Illinois and am looking to help fellow pet owners with a reliable & affordable means of caring for their pet. I've owned two cats for over 10 years, Mackerel (Mac) & Cheese. I'm familiar with all things cat - including feeding, litter box maintenance, de-shedding, flea treatment, cat nail trims, separation anxiety treatment and administering pet medication. I love to play with my feline friends! I really enjoy dog walking and taking care of dogs in our home too - walking them is a way for both the pet and myself to stay healthy and active, and of course for the pet to release it's energy! We have a fenced in yard at our home. My husband and I recently adopted our 25lb Australian Cattle Dog Mix (Kit). Kit is shy among people but has yet to meet a dog or cat she hasn’t liked. We have the ability to separate animals in our home for those that might not get along with one another but we ask that all dogs in our home be up to date on vaccinations and have flea and tick preventatives administered by their owners. We are exceptionally clean and don't mind being assigned small maintenance tasks should we visit your home - including light vacuuming, pet hair removal, crate cleaning, laundry, mail retrieval, and plant care. - I'm very familiar with indoor and outdoor plants of all varieties! I can provide animal care for other pets including horses, goats, sheep, reptiles, chickens, exotic birds, and small mammals.

Jenn was fantastic! She went above and beyond, kept in great communication and sent us photos every day. We will definitely be return clients!

Jenn is amazing. She really took time to get to know my cats. I felt they were well cared for and loved while I was out of town for the week. She also helped bring in packages and gave me updates on the building, which was a nice added bonus.

Information Jenn D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are specific behaviors of your pet that you regularly manage. (i.e. feeding behaviors, allergies, medications, obedience training, separation anxiety) Note: In order to maintain a flexible cancellation policy I typically try not to book NEW clients more than 60 days out from the service dates requested as its difficult to confirm my schedule's accuracy beyond that time. Should you have a request for a series of multiple dates or dates beyond 60 days please let me know and we can discuss options for fulfillment. For security purposes Rover will not disclose a pet owner's exact location prior to the collective acceptance of a booking and instead utilizes service radius' to determine if the owner is within a sitters service range. I typically stick to the following guidelines to determine if you're in my service radius. East of Central Park Avenue to Lakefront South of Belmont Ave North of Roosevelt Rd or Within a 5 Minute Drive of I-90 Kennedy Expressway

A typical day

I have reliable transportation. My home is located in Ukranian Village. Frequent stops for daycare activities include Wicker Park Dog Park, Black Dog Gelato (ice cream duh!), Churchill Dog Park, Walsh Park, Logan Square Dog Park, Puptown Dog Park (N Marine Dr.)
